Standing Hip Frontal Rotation with Alternate Raise
Positioning
1. Starting Position: Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. 2. Arm Position: Raise your right arm straight up above your head while keeping your left arm down at your side.
Movement Instructions
1. Raise Alternate Arm: While maintaining the right arm overhead, lift your left arm parallel to the floor in front of you, keeping it shoulder-width apart. 2. Rotate Hips: As you lift your left arm, pivot your right hip outward and rotate your torso slightly to the left. 3. Return to Start: Lower your left arm back to your side and simultaneously lower your right arm back down. 4. Repeat: Switch arms; now raise your left arm overhead and repeat the movement with your right arm. Rotate your hips to the right this time. 5. Continue Alternating: Perform this alternating arm raise and hip rotation for 10-15 repetitions on each side, focusing on fluidity and control.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged to maintain stability throughout the movement. - Ensure your movements are slow and controlled to avoid strain. - If you feel discomfort, reduce the range of motion or take a break.
